5 Pointz: The Institute of Higher Burnin'

Where: 5 Pointz: The Institute of Higher Burnin' in Long Island City What's Cool About It: While artists rent studio space inside this Long Island City warehouse, it is the factory building's 200,000-square-foot walls that have put it on NYC's art scene radar.  With a reputation as NYC's "graffiti Mecca," 5 Pointz sports the work of aerosol artists from around the world.  Spray-can art seekers will find more than 350 technicolor murals when stopping by this five-story, block-long industrial complex at Jackson Avenue and Davis Street.
